Summary: Fantastic!
Comment: If you are a teacher who is giving a standardized test, this is the book for you! Our Media Clerk put this book in the staff lounge. It was an instant hit with us all! Reading about Miss Malarkey and her experiences with the "IPTU" test was just the "tension breaker" I needed! I found that I had said many of the same things to my students that she had! "No, this won't affect your grade" and "Yes, you will get to go to the next grade, even if you don't do well on this test." Bravo, Judy Finchler!!

Summary: Every legislator should read this book!
Comment: Any teacher who has taught even a year recently well understands the horrors of testing, and days when there are more teachers than students in the nurse's office.
Testing Miss Malarkey deals with the testmania which is being inflicted on our children in a humorous, yet unfortunately accurate way. Schools may not be teaching how to color in circles in art class-but there are many which have eliminated art to make room for test prep.
I would also suggest Susan Ohanian's
"What happened to recess and why are our children struggling in kindergarten"-the adult side of the story, but the same, sad tale.
Rating: 5
Summary: Someone who finally gets it
Comment: I purchased this book in preparation for a presentation on standardized testing. It definitely added some humor to the dull subject.
How amazing that a "children's" book can get the idiocy of high-stakes testing, but we in education can't do enough to lower the stakes.
A must for any educator trying to make the point of how silly the tests are--or anyone trying to lower the anxiety level just before test time.
